Building a powerful company that used the free market system to excell....

is not the same as manipulating the market place and the political arena to blunt potential competition.

This is truly the gist of the argument in favor of "free" enterprise.

What is never discussed is how do you best assist the market to encourage competition for all people. Because the financial infrastructure that is now in place is ruled by an I got mine so fuck you attitude.

The main result is owners paying less than 10% tax on their profits while the people working are paid a salary are paying up wards of 40% in taxes when you include Social Security and Medicare. What really makes it worse is that those at the top of the heap now reap what others have sown.

Witness Mitt Romney.

We've tried the "get the government out of the way of business" theory before. What always happens, is the meanest bastard in town does everything he possibly can to put everyone else out of business...and when that happens, his next move is to starve out the customers he doesn't like.

If you remove environmental protections so as to lower prices for business, business responds by proving why those laws were necessary all along.

Business does what's best for itself. If you want business to do what's best for us all...ya gotta regulate.
